  1. BTW, which DKC is your favorite?

     

    Mine is DKC2.

     

    I would say it's a tie, between the first and the second.

     

    While the second is the objectively better game, the first is more nostalgic to me, because i played the second much later.

     

    the third one is underrated and also a bit overhated. It's not as good as the other 2, but it's still a very enjoyable experieince.

  2. Ok, I see where you're coming from. However, this is my opinion on it.

     

    Classic Disney is great, but the one thing it can't do for me is be relatable. That's why Zootopia is my favorite movie, because I can relate. Classic Disney also was very fantasy or taking place in the past. When I finished Zootopia, I felt like I had just finished a good book. I'm a huge book reader, and my favorite books (discluding the Warrior Cats series) are just a spin on real life (Harry Potter and Percy Jackson). Zootopia was very much like this and so was something I could relate to and like. Judging from what you said about it, you seem to prefer having a new world to see people interact in. I like having real life twisted a bit and to see and relate to people as they interact with that. More evidence is that my third favorite movie is Big hero 6 (second is The Force Awakens). Big Hero 6 is just a spin on reality (Star Wars is Star Wars). It's just tastes, and people's tastes in movies have changed.

     

    P.S. I also own a stock in Disney. 

     

    And i can see your take on it and that's not a problem. However, there is still a big market out there for fantasy and i always thought that Disney, was a great way for kids to get into Fantasy. I like to watch fantasy movies, because i can let myself fall into them. Not that i don't like movies that have realism to them, but i don't particulary look for that in a disney movie.

     

    But since the next one will be an animated musical, about an old oceanian legend, i can be positive and it seems like disney is balancing it out, so i can tolerate that.

     

    Also, peoples tastes aren't different, that would be too generalizing and easy. I think people can like alot of things, be it fantasy, sci-fi, drama, action, etc.

     

    But that's how i see it.

  3. while i do agree on the notion that it was kinda creative, that all those animals got their own respective neighborhood, it still really dosen't leave to my imagination. It's just not really something that is leaving me in awe. It's just a modern day city, with animals. Sounds bitter probably, but i just can't get into it.

     

    When it comes to Moana though, i am really excited for it. Polynesia is a wonderful scenary, adds alot of excitement and oceania has some very interesting folklore. Besides, The Rock will play the Demigod Maui. How awesome is that? It's also directed by John Musker and Ron Clements who did Aladdin, so they have alot of experience.

     

    I thank you for your very insightful comment Wind Chaser. :)

  4. Is it really fair to say Disney films all have a type of feel when so many are tonally different. Having grown up with movies like The Black Cauldron, Fox and the Hound, Oliver and Company, and being a young adult when Hunchback and Pocahontas hit ... I always ignore the marketing statements since I know better. The truth is Disney often veers in weird directions ... often ... with mixed results.

     

    Alice in Wonderland is a perfect example even though it is thought of as a classic.

     

    I don't consider every disney movie good to be honest (seriously, i never liked Pocahontas to be honest) but with all the movies you have mentioned (except Oliver and company) they all have this fantasy feeling to me.

     

    Disney was the first thing that got me into fantasy and everytime i think of Disney, i think of fantasy settings, or just settings that are extremly exotic, places where you as a human, can never live in.

     

    Zootopia never has this, because it's our world, just with animals.

  5. Want to know a secret? Tonight was the 6th viewing for me. I took the kids to see it and came away with a strong ... 'It was OK' feeling. I ended up going again with my nieces and the kids. I found it was growing on me. Saw it a few more times after that.

     

    I saw The Force Awakens twice in theaters. Saw this five times.

     

    ._.

     

    Stay away ... if it bites you ... you go feral!

     

    Like i said, this is not a blog about how i feel about Zootopia as a movie in general. This is more about Zootopia as a Disney Movie.

     

    I think as a movie, it's good. But this is not what i want in a Disney Movie, because i don't feel any sort of wonder or magic with it. I may sound like an old man with that, but these are just my feelings. :P

  6. Nice. :)

     

    By the way, I just saw the live action Jungle Book recently. I was surprised that this song was absent.....and that Kaa was apparently female...

     

    Thank you

     

    Ähm, you didn't stay for the credits, right?

     

    If you waited, you would've heard Scarlett Johansson singing it. XD

     

    Hope you had a fun time though, because i thought that this is one of the best remakes in recent years. :)

  7. Congratulations on your graduation Elo. :)

     

    In the last 4 years, you seem to have gone through quite a good change. I also kinda did in the last 5 years, since i joined the fandom. Not as big as you, but still. Could have something to do with the fandom, or just a sign of the time. But whatever it is, i am glad we both changed for the better. :)

     

    Whatever you might do after the graduation, is up to you now. Remember, the future is yours to make. :) *Big Lamiahugs*
